That looks like fun. I used to be damn nervous about sitting back on my harness to go down after climbing up five storeys too!

am_klutz July 5 2009, 09:52:01 UTC

It is fun! I prefer it to rock climbing because I feel more 'secured' :P
Are you afraid of heights too?

alisonrae July 5 2009, 10:07:18 UTC

Hm, not really afraid of heights, just don't really trust the hardware! Haha.

am_klutz July 6 2009, 03:04:13 UTC

LOL I'll always have a bit of distrust as well but I had to trust it!

omg! looks way fun!!!

you look so serious :) but i'm sure it was all worth it the view and the climb and most importantly the company!!

:P happy birthday dear!!!

am_klutz July 5 2009, 09:52:43 UTC

I was trying to stay focused and actually really really nervous :P
Thanks! Not yet though :P

blissfultyrant July 5 2009, 10:28:17 UTC

oops.. well.. when its here i will wish you all over again!!!

I think you did really well for someone who is afraid of heights! Luckily I'm not bothered by it at all hence why I could be so calm. :)

blissfultyrant July 5 2009, 10:27:36 UTC

.. erica u jumped out of a plane.. that tops everything!

babyflite July 5 2009, 10:31:51 UTC

Lol! Actually I found bungee jumping much scarier than sky diving! Probably coz the ground was so much closer so you really felt like you could go splatz on it... :p

am_klutz July 6 2009, 02:58:24 UTC

Hehehehehe I think you'll always remember me saying, Is this secure?? Let me down slooowly pleeease :P

You did great AM :) It's never easy to conquer a phobia whether it be a fear of heights or otherwise, so well done. Although I have to say it amused me when T was trying to get you to smile on the way down and you were doing your best to ignore him! Hehehe.... ;)

Can we get a copy too of the photos from the other camera? Hopefully there'll be some good shots to reward me for having T's ass in my face for an hour!!! Not that it's not a nice ass or anything but... you know :P

am_klutz July 6 2009, 02:59:17 UTC

Yes! I was like - stop it! I can't smile because I don't want to lose focus and look down!
LOL. Yes I'll email the guy to ask for it.

We took slighly over an hour I think!
Your 10 m climb could have been more tricky?!
I'm short actually.. just 1.57m tall
Go for it if you enjoy climbing
